Week 2 of 2011

The lot looks wonderful! Thanks to the city for grating and rolling the lot so it's now even and with no ankle-twisting stones.
Another busy market day, with vendors selling greens, flowers, honey, berries, plants and plants and fresh made beignets! A good time was had by all, with lots of visiting and plenty of buying fresh food.
For those of you who weren't there we got rained on a little bit... Just 15 min. before closing it started raining really big drops which usually means the rain shower won't last real long - wrong!!! About 30 seconds later it was like heavenly buckets of water were being poured over us... like literally being under a waterfall the rain was so heavy. (Check out the picture of Rosemary taking shelter in her truck!)Another fun and adventurous day at market!
What will happen this weekend? Stop by, say hi, check it out, and give it a taste!
